[Glass-mit] 2011 MIT Great Glass Pumpkin Patch

[Peter Houk]

OK, all, here's the schedule for visitors to the Glass Lab during pumpkin
making sessions:

10/29 11AM-12:
Joyce Chen
Elizabeth Krueger
Kirstin Lim
Pei Lin Ren
Anne Donaghy

10/29 2-3PM:
Meredith Hanna
Natalie and Eugene

11/20 11AM-12:
Mary Holland
Audrey Szucs
Martha Lawler
Angela Park
Connie Liu
Inbar Yamin
Lyle Warner

12/3 11AM-12:
Chiara Megighian-Zenati
Margaret Mulcahy
Carol Boisvert
Marilyn Denton

12/18 2-3PM:
Caitlyn Cameron
Terry Eastman
Katie Villa
Ardys Flavelle

I think that covers all the requests to date. Please notice that the 11/20
11Am to 12 tour is oversubscribed, so we can't stuff anyone else into that
slot.
For those of you who have not visited the lab before, we are located in room
4-003, in the basement of the Infinite Corridor, in the main group of
buildings at MIT. See this map: http://whereis.mit.edu/
The easiest way to get to the lab is to come in through the front entrance
to MIT at 77 Massachusetts Avenue, walk straight back through Lobby 10 (in
building 10), and take the first staircase on the right downstairs, then
continue walking in the same direction. We are the first lab on the left
beyond the men's room.
We'll look forward to seeing you soon!
Peter
